Tasting comment from Fabien:
For this third opus of this exclusive collection, we take you back to Jamaica with perhaps one of my biggest favorites of the year :) The 2009 vintage at NY is one of my favorites. Perhaps thanks to its high ester content, which allows you to spend a pleasant moment over your tasting glass. But especially for its delicacy which recalls, in a certainly different register, the TDL of the early 2000s. A beautiful rum from pleasure !
